A new exhibition showcasing how architects communicate ideas through physical models. It brings together practitioners’ work at different scales to highlight the role of modelmaking in developing and testing architectural projects with insights from the architects and modelmakers. Looking ahead, the exhibition supports the continued growth of the Architects Index of Modelmaking while championing the enduring relevance of physical models in shaping future architectural practice.
Open to the public - Monday to Thursday from 10am to 6pm and Friday from 10am to 5pm
Information coming soon.
Invite only event
Taught by ceramic artists Stephen Graham and Nastassia Blahadava, this three-part course introduces the basics of slab building. Across two extended making sessions and a final glazing session, you’ll create your own simple form – or collection of forms – using 4mm clay slabs with mitred joints. Sessions on the 8th, 22nd and 29th March.
Stephen Setford (Associate & Workshop Manager) and Tom Fotheringham (Associate & Project Architect on Rhodes House, Oxford) will reflect on the collaborative journey of creating and utilising models in design, showcasing the powerful tools and materials that influence and shape the design.
Join us for an evening of hands-on making with Maz Weineck at Material Source Studio.
Whether you’re an experienced maker or simply keen to try something new, this is a chance to learn by doing – and to create something tangible to take away.
Chaired by European Cultural Centre (ECC)
Structured around three high-energy conversations – Making as Process, Making as Communication, and Making as Consequence – the day explores how models don’t just represent architecture, but actively shape how it is imagined, negotiated, and built.
A private event for secondary school and sixth form students.
Information coming soon.
